My little ladies

Joeen took the most darling pictures of my girls.  They had so much fun because they dressed up and played with babies.

Laila fell during the photo shoot and scraped up her face thank goodness for digital photo touch up.

On a side note, Laila has decided to potty train herself which has been great but this is how she spends most of her time.

Joeen, thanks again for everything!

Mothers-in-training....and waiting

My wonderful Mother-in-law Joeen has been staying with me while Geoff has been out of town, and let me tell you, I might send Geoff out of town again if I could convince Joeen to stay.  She has been an absolute LIFE SAVER!! She has single-handedly made our home ready for two more babies.

Joeen has also been getting Aria and Laila ready for the new babies by helping them get excited about being mothers to their own babies.  Joeen has 7 children so she is an expert at diverting attention, and right now the girls are busy being mothers to their own babies and hopefully they will leave the new babies alone.

Not only is Joeen able to get more done in a day then anyone I have ever met, but she is a very talented photographer.  We took the girls out to play and take pictures and they turned out so darling, I will post some pictures later, but I wanted everyone to see my little mothers.  Aria and Laila are so good to their babies, I am sure they are going to be awesome when the twins come.

Here is the most recent "belly picture".  Joeen agrees that I am getting bigger and bigger everyday! Hopefully these babies will stay in a couple more weeks and then they are definitely invited to come!

Joeen, thank you for everything!  You have no idea how much you mean to me and the girls.  Thank you for dropping everything in your life to come make mine so much easier.  I LOVE YOU!!!!

The Babies

I had an ultrasound today and it looks like all is well with the babies. The ultrasound tech was so cute and wanted to see if they looked alike.
This is baby boy, we couldn't get a 4D picture but this baby looks a lot like Geoff...big cheeks and big lips. He also has quite a bit of hair.

This is baby girl, she was in perfect position for a 4D photo. I think she looks a lot like Laila. She doesn't have as much hair as her brother.
I am so excited to see what they really look like!!

A BIG SURPRISE!!

I received a wonderful surprise this weekend.  My mother-in-law Joeen was coming to help me but she showed up a day early with 3 of my sister-in-laws!!!  It was the BEST surprise.  I was so happy especially because I got to meet my brand new nephew Luke for the first time!

While Joeen escorted me to my various trips to the doctors office and the hospital for some shots my wonderful sisters deep cleaned my entire house,

and  watched and played with my children.

It was wonderful!  It really gave me the boost I needed.  I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful, supportive family.  I am still in a little bit of shock that Renee and Sarah would drive 6 hours and Michelle flew from Colorado,  to spend a couple days with us.

Renee, Michelle and Sarah thank you so much for coming and completely cleaning my house and for taking care of my girls and I .  I love you guys so much!  You are the BEST!!  I am the luckiest lady EVER!!!

Crocheting!

Since I have just been laying around, I decided that busy hands are happy hands so I have taken up a new hobby. Crocheting is the best thing ever because I can do it while I am laying down.  I LOVE IT!!

A little hat for each of the babies!

I need to give a shout out to my Grana.  She is a crochet master and I am so thankful for her teaching me how to crochet many, many years ago.  It only took me a couple hours to remember how to do it again!
